Together Pangea prep new EP, touring (watch “Dispassionate” video)

California band Together Pangea are back with a new EP, Dispassionate, this Friday, which follows 2018's Non Stop Paranoia EP. "Dispassionate is the moon and Non Stop Paranoia was the sun," says frontman William Keegan. "These new songs are kind of the opposite of the last batch. They are calmer and self-reflective, and the style is influenced by the '50s and '60s revival that happened in the 80’s." You can definitely hear that '60s-via-the'80s vibe in Dispassionate's title track, which Keegan calls "an upbeat song about being emotionally removed," and is powered by a bouncy marimba riff. "When we tracked this song Call Me by Your Name was in theaters so that Psychedelic Furs song ‘Love My Way’ was being played everywhere, which is what made me want to add the marimba to the song," says bassist Danny Bengston. The video for "Dispassionate," directed by Derek Perlman, tracks an humorous evening of highs and lows for the band. It premieres in this post -- watch below.

Together Pangea will be on tour this summer and West Coast dates are with Vundabar and Dehd, while Midwest and East Coast shows are with Tijuana Panthers and Ultra Q. The Brooklyn stop is at Elsewhere Hall on July 17 (tickets). All dates are listed below.
